O ct 1 99 9 The Wahlquist metric cannot describe an isolated rotating body

چکیده
It is proven that the Wahlquist perfect fluid space-time cannot be smoothly joined to an exterior asymptotically flat vacuum region. The proof uses a power series expansion in the angular velocity, to a precision of the second order. In this approximation, the Wahlquist metric is a special case of the rotating Whittaker space-time. The exterior vacuum domain is treated in a like manner. We compute the conditions of matching at the possible boundary surface in both the interior and the vacuum domain. The conditions for matching the induced metrics and the extrinsic curvatures are mutually contradictory.

The Wahlquist-Newman solution
Based on a geometrical property which holds both for the Kerr metric and for the Wahlquist metric we argue that the Kerr metric is a vacuum subcase of the Wahlquist perfect-fluid solution. The Kerr-Newman metric is a physically preferred charged generalization of the Kerr metric. We discuss which geometric property makes this metric so special and claim that a charged generalization of the Wahl...

The Einstein-Langevin equation is a perturbative correction to the semiclassical Ein-stein equation which takes into account the lowest order quantum fluctuations of the matter stress-energy tensor. It predicts classical stochastic fluctuations in the metric field which may describe some of the remnant gravitational fluctuations after the process of environment induced decoherence driving the q...

A general solution to the vacuum Einstein equations which admits the Ashtekar isolated horizon is characterized. It is a superposition – in an exactly defined sense – of the Schwarzschild metric with a certain free data propagating tangentially to the horizon. This proves Ashtekar’s conjecture about the structure of spacetime near the isolated horizon. The same superposition method applied to t...

We compute the relation between the Quillen metric and and the canonical metric on the determinant line bundle for a family of elliptic boundary value problems of Dirac-type. To do this we present a general formula relating the ζdeterminant and the canonical determinant for a class of higher-order elliptic boundary value problems.

Spherically symmetric static fluid sources are endowed with rotation and embedded in Kerr empty space-time up to an including quadratic terms in an angular velocity parameter using Darmois junction conditions. Einstein's equation's for the system are developed in terms of linear ordinary differential equations. The boundary of the rotating source is expressed explicitly in terms of sinusoidal f...
